Hello Folks - Has anyone seen / does anyone recognize this german anvil makers Mark?  From a 320lb South German pattern anvil.

Cheers,

I can't help anything else but this:

The sign says: Amboss (anvil) - Heimann (name of possible manufacturer), Berghausen - Rheinland (it's a name (Berghausen) of a small village about 50 km from Frankfurt, in Rheinland-Pfalz county in Germany). I couldn't find anything telling about manufacturing anvils there. But it doesn't mean anything. I'd be pretty sure that your anvil was made there.

Happy hammering on it!

Do you have any other pictures, showing the whole anvil?  Any other stamps or markings, year, weight?

Pic attached.  Those are the only markings apart from weight

Not sure of the maker, but it sure is a nice anvil.

Sure is a beauty..  One of these days I'll have one in my stable just like that.. :)  Congrats..  

And for some reason, The Doors' "Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name?" is now going through my head....

Thank you folks.  Amazing rebound but very little ring which is nice.  Lucked out in that given my tinnitus lol.

When looking at an anvil, only a true blacksmith would have this reaction. Love it!

Bedding the anvil down on a layer of silicone caulk will probably take care of what ring is left. Quieted my Mousehole down nicely.
